early morning glow

 

so last night i put a different kind of mask on my face.

 

it was 100% clear.

 

and it was this:

 

 

in a post last week i shared that a reader had suggested we all use this on our grills during a long flight and then take it off when we landed revealing glowy baby skin.

so i bought it.

it came in the mail yesterday and i tried it last night..

 

the results are kind of awesome, right?

 

that is a glow akin to someone eating a raw vegan diet.

and my 7 days a week nutella on toast/wine habit only proves that this stuff works.

 

plus it smells like straight up rose heaven.

 

get it, ok?

you won't regret it.

 

speaking of regret.

 

you may have noticed that i pulled all posts surrounding paulagate cum mfambgate. (haha you said cum)

there was just too much out there being written about me that simply wasn't true.

i am still getting hate mail on the hour and if you could sit in my shoes for one minute you'd see that i made the right choice to pull it, rather than continue to defend my point. 

even if i know the things being said are juvenile and incorrect it's not fun being on the receiving end of such negativity and poison.

my readers who know me know where i come from and who i am. 

and that is all that matters to me.

the rest can go scratch. (to quote the most graceful, eloquent housewife of all time- teresa guidice)

if anyone out there wants to email me and talk about anything constructively i encourage them to do so.

but i am done talking about it on the blog.

i promise.

and i will be deleting any comments that are hurtful in any way.

 

 

in other news-

i am WAY more famous now than i was last thursday.

i think i blew up squarespace for a minute.

 

 

 

workout wear

 i've always heard that one of the best ways to get motivated to exercise is to buy new workout clothes.

i don't have to get motivated to exercise anymore.

but it took me a long time to get here.

i DO get bored with my routine and seek new ways to change it up.

but i move my body almost every single day.

and it DOES help to get a new pair of shoes or a new pair of shorts that don't look like grandpa's dirty boxers to keep it flowing.

 

 

here are some of my workout favorites and some i want on my person...

 

 

 

 

 

most of the time i work out in whatever i slept in but for those times when it's not an option it's nice to have a few public-friendly workout outfits in your closet.

 

fyi- i don't do a lot of cardio which is why there is the absence of a sturdier workout bra. 

normally i do all workouts in my yoga bra.

except for tracy anderson dance shit.

for that i typically just hold my boobs, cry and stop after 15 minutes.

sightseeing in england

 

i am less than a month out from vacation so that means another installment of my...

 

i don't know about you but when i am on vacation i make an effort to look cute even for grocery store outings.

unlike at home when i am more than likely in nasty flip flops and paint splattered t's with pit stains.

 

but for vacations i pack my cute clothes.

 

like these:

 

 

still me but no grease stains or flip flops.
